asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(3)      libtasn1      asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(3)

NAME
       asn1_der_decoding_startEnd - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       int  asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(asn1_node  element,  const void * ider,
       int ider_len, const char * name_element, int * start, int * end);

ARGUMENTS
       asn1_node element
                   pointer to an ASN1 element

       const void * ider
                   vector that contains the DER encoding.

       int ider_len
                   number of bytes of * ider :  ider [0].. ider [len-1]

       const char * name_element
                   an element of NAME structure.

       int * start the position of the first byte of NAME_ELEMENT  decoding  (
                   ider [*start])

       int * end   the  position  of  the last byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding (
                   ider [*end])

DESCRIPTION
       Find the start and end point of an element in a DER encoding string.  I
       mean  that  if  you  have  a der encoding and you have already used the
       function asn1_der_decoding() to fill a structure, it  may  happen  that
       you  want  to  find  the  piece  of string concerning an element of the
       structure.

       One example is the sequence "tbsCertificate" inside  an  X509  certifi-
       cate.

       Note  that since libtasn1 3.7 the  ider and  ider_len parameters can be
       omitted, if the element is already decoded using asn1_der_decoding().

RETURNS
       ASN1_SUCCESS if DER encoding OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if  ELEMENT  is
       asn1_node EMPTY or  name_element is not a valid element, ASN1_TAG_ERROR
       or ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der encoding doesn't match the structure  ELE-
       MENT.
